There was a funny scene in Chagaev's post fight interview. TV-Reporter: "Ruslan, after tonight's performance, do you think you are ready for WBA champ David Haye?" (loud laughter in the 500 odd audience) Chagaev (Borat style Russian accent): "Yes yes, just you laugh... " (5 second pause) "I ready for Chaye. I will beat. Thank you."
Normally he´s with Schaburow, but today he was with Zakarjan, I think. Maybe some were confused by that. Schaburow is in Japan right now to prepare Tajbert for his fight there.
I thought the Ali comperison was just some cheezy thing, but this guy is a ww Ali clone He's not as good, but has the exact same style
Let's face it people: Valuev ruined Chagaev. His body was in such a weakened state after subduing THE BEAST that he contracted Hepatitis. He ruptured his achilles tendon long after the fight with SNV due to devastating injury sustained IN THE RING. That's right. It took time for the damage to set in. That's how lethal the sugar man is. The man is deadly.
Chag should hang em up. Why does he want more health problems. Man has nothing to be ashamed up- amatuer susperstar and a WBA title in the pros. Good show, man, now figure out what you are doing with the rest of your life. footnote here- we can fully expect a Haye 180. In fact, now, he will proabably be calling Ruslan out.
jack culcay looks extremly featherfisted! no joke paulie malignaggi has real bombs in his fist compared to him
I think it would be a bigger travesty if Chagaev were to beat Haye by UD. Which is quite possible because he is a very accomplished boxer. I'd rather have a punk like Haye hold on to the wba title. Rather than someone who can't punch for ****, and can only win fights on the scorecards...
